Blue Buffalo brand cat food is manufactured by the Blue Buffalo Company. The company was founded when one of the owner's dogs was diagnosed with cancer. The company began as a search for foods that did not contain harmful environmental toxins, which can lead to cancer in pets. Blue Buffalo claims to use many human-grade ingredients in their pet food formulas. Blue Buffalo has previously recalled several of their products in the 2007 pet food recall, including all of their cat food formulas sold under the “BLUE Spa Select” name. As a result of the recall, Blue Buffalo removed all products from their formulas that were made by “American Nutrition”, the company who added the contaminated rice protein to their formulas.
